THE GREATEST 
TELEPRONE PLANT IN THE WORLD 
WANTS TO TALK TO YOU 


Does it seem strange that the greatest independent telephone plant in the world—the 
Stromberg-Carlson Telephone Mfg. Co.—should want to talk to you about telephones ? 

You have thought, perhaps, that you were getting all the good you could out of the 
telephone in your business. But you are not. 


“OPAL PIN toe easy AY 
‘ : 








Tae, 


You have considered the whole subject in all probability as one to be left entirely to 
your local company. But it is not—it needs your personal attention. 


PLL IIL EE 


You've never looked behind the great independent telephone movement, involving mil- 


C8 Fas 


lions of dollars, -and thought of this mammoth factory making everything from telephone 
cords to telephone cables. 

But this great Rochester factory has been thinking of you for years. In the very forefront of 
the fight for telephone freedom; a prime factor in the equipment and almost miraculous success

Here Is An Example o! of § Globe Ws ieetehe ‘Seed 


The B. & O. Rai!road Company, before deciding upon the purchase of 
the filing devices required for their new fourteen story building recently 
erected in Baltimore, sent representatives from their mechanical and con- 
struction departments to different cities to make a personal inspection of 
«the factory facilities of various concerns manufacturing office equipment. 

After their report was received, samples of different lines were subjected 
to further examination at the head office. 

The result of these two inspections came in the form of an order calling 
for over $75,000 worth of Globe“Wernicke ‘‘Elastic’’ Filing Cabinets and

Stenographic Opportunities 
By ROBERT F. ROSE 


(Mr. Rose was the official reporter of 
the Democratic National Convention 
of 1900, and the official shorthand 
Reporter traveling with Hon. 
W. J. Bryan during his two 
great campaigns.) 


Interest in the possibilities in shorthand 
and the splendid opportunities which pre- 
sent themselves to the competent young 
men and women who have a thorough 
knowledge of the stenographic art, was 
awakened some time ago by the publica- 
tion of an article from the pen of William 
E. Curtis, showing that the expert short- 
hand writers in Chicago were dividing in 
fees upwards of $1,000,000 a year, and that 
one firm, consisting of three young men 
in that city, were doing a business ap- 
proximating $100,000 annually. This was 
exclusive of the earnings of the office 
stenographers, being but the amount paid 
to those engaged in shorthand as an inde- 
pendent business. 

The publication of such articles as the 
above inspired many to take up this lucra- 
tive business, and throughout the country 
there are many young men and women 
who have obtained material advancement 
through the study of shorthand. What 
was true in Chicago has proved true 
throughout the country, and in no other 
line of endeavor have such quick returns 
resulted. 

A page from the journal of J. A. Lord, 
the official reporter at Waco, Texas, dis- 
closes that in one month his earnings were 
$1,282. In the same state, but in a much 
smaller city, Dudley M. Kent, the official 
reporter at Colorado, Texas, earned 
$650.25 in a single month, while other 
reporters throughout the country have 
demonstrated by their work and earnings 
that shorthand is one of the most remu- 
nerative of professions. 

And it is not only in this line of work 
that shorthand is attractive to young men 
and women. The prominent statesmen, 
bankers, railway officials, and captains of 
industry, draw from the ranks of the 
shorthand writers for their private secre- 
taries, while in the business world the 
stenographer receives the greatest ad- 
vancement. A more attractive position 
would be hard to imagine than that of W. 

- Morey, private secretary to Joseph 

eiter, the Chicago millionaire; or of Ed- 
win A. Ecke, private secretary to John R. 
Wallace, former chief engineer of the 
Panama canal; or of Ray Nyemaster, 
Atalissa, Iowa, private secretary to Con- 
gressman Dawson, of the second district 
of lowa. These young men are in close 
contact with successful men, and their 
future advancement is assured. 

These positions, however, are only for 
those who can and do write the best short- 
hand. In Mr. Curtis’ article the firm of 
Walton, James and Ford was given the 
credit of having the largest business in 
the world—approximating $100,000 an- 
nually. All the parties whose success has 
been mentioned above, were taught expert 
shorthand by the school over which this 
most successful firm presides. Capable of 
writing the shorthand with which the large 
sums are made, these men inaugurated 
the Success Shorthand School in Chicago, 
and to-day have more successful gradu- 
ates throughout the United States, Can- 
ada and Mexico than any other institution 
of the kind in the world. Three years 
ago they began to teach young men and 
women at their homes, giving them a thor- 
ough knowledge of that expert shorthand 
which experience had demonstrated to 
these experts to be the best. Stenogra- 
phers—graduates of other schools and with 
years of experience—have been perfected 
so that they have more than doubled their 
former salaries. Chauncey W. Pitts, in 
June, 1905, had absolutely no knowledge 
of shorthand and resided in Alton, Iowa. 
Seven months thereafter he was the offi- 
cial court reporter of the Fourth Judicial 
district of lowa—a position worth $3,000 a 
year. A few days before this article was 
written, a young man who had been em- 
ployed as a stenographer at $75 a month, 
but who took this perfection course, was 
so competent that he secured a position 
with the Illinois Sewing Machine Company 
at $35 a week. 

These are but a few of hundreds of 
cases, and the school, at the conclusion 
of its third vear, can point to more gradu- 
ates earning really large salaries than any 
other school in existence. 

If you know rothing of shorthand, and 
desire to become a really expert writer— 
capable of holding the positions paying 
these large salaries—you should write at 
once for information in regard to this 
school, obtaining their contract to return 
all money paid in case of dissatisfaction 
when the course is half completed. If you 
are a stenographer, these experts can help 
you to advance in your profession by 
teaching you the same shorthand which 
they write, and with which others have 
advanced. This school guarantees its in- 
struction. Its graduates have broken all 
records in actual expert work. Write to- 
day for their handsome 48-page book, ex- 
plaining the method of instruction, a copy 
of the guaranty given each accepted 
pupil, and newspaper at magazine com- 
ments on the breaking of all shorthand 
records by its graduates, addressing Suc 
cess Shorthand School, Suite 1229, 79 Clark 
Street, Chicago. If a stenographer, state

EDITORIAL 
BULLETIN 





NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1906 


Our Next Real Soldier of Fortune 


PHYSICIAN i in Philadelphia. lawyer in New Orleans, 

editor in San Francisco— three learned callings, 
studied, practised, and abandoned before he reached 
his twenty-eighth birthday. 


"THEN, ‘*Heigh for boot and horse!’ Off with- 
lancet, law book, and pen, and on with sword 
and gun. At thirty-two, known on every tongue 
from Maine to California as ‘‘ The Gray-Eyed Man 
of Destiny.’’ And at thirty-seven, officially shot 
by the government of Nicaragua, which he, with 
fifty-seven men, had invaded and conquered. 


HAT whim of fate touched this young man and 

so strangely turned his path aside from peace? 
William Walker’s career is not fiction, but simple 
history. Walker was a silent, student-like, serious- 
minded young man, who never drank, never used 
an oath, never boasted, and never gambled. His 
story has been written by Mr. Richard Harding 
Davis from Walker’s own chronicle, and from con- 
temporary records. But best of all, Mr. Davis has 
incorporated into it the atmosphere of his own 
familiarity with the theatre of Walker’s wars, and 
his ever-pleasing sympathy with the danger-loving 
and adventurous. 


HE Hearst style of journalism, in its most char- 
acteristic forms, is now about ten years old. 
This gives ample time to measure it by its results. 
In the next of our articles on ‘‘Hearst and Hearstism,”’ 
to be printed next week, Mr. Palmer will endeavor, 
in the most impartial way, to aline the points to the 
credit and to the discredit of what is called yellow 
journalism. The article will balance the injury Hearst 
has done to public taste and public judgment, with 
the record of his injunctions and other aggressive acts 
for the public good. 


HE opening of the college year will be symbolized 

by our cover design next week, a drawing in red 
and black by J. C. Leyendecker. The colored 
frontispiece will be a drawing by Walter Appleton 
Clark, appropriate to the Vanderbilt automobile cup 
races. 


OLLIER’S CLASSIFIED SERVICE—Owing to the 
crowded condition of our advertising columns, we 

are compelled to omit the Classified Service this issue, 
and to postpone the publication of the classified ad- 
vertisements ordered for this week until October 6.

REAT WAS THE REJOICING in the domain of the Union 
Jack the world over—where proverbially the sun never sets— 
when young Queen Victoria was delivered of a son and heir in 
1841,—the little child becoming hostage to the popularity of her long 
and triumphant reign by thus assuring the perpetuity of her house. 
As heir-apparent to the throne of Great Britain and her Col- 
onies, this baby boy was known from birth as the Prince of Wales. 
In the Spring of 1846 when tlie little Prince of Wales had grown to 
be a sturdy chap of five, one of Havana’s prominent and opulent com- 
mercial grandees introduced a new brand of cigars—one that seemed 
to reach the height of that perfection for which he had many years 
striven. So proud was he of his product that in seeking for a name of 
world-wide application there instantly came to his mind Albert Ed- 
ward’s official title — The Prince of Wales—El Principe de Gales. 
In 60 years the Prince has become king of a world empire and the 
brand of cigars has become acknowledged ‘‘King of Havana cigars.’ 
HE CUBAN MANUFACTURER responsible for this brand and 
its fame was Senor V. Martinez Ybor, prominent both among 
tobacco planters and manufacturers, the head of a great com- 
mercial industry and one of the principal exporters of Cuba. But 
Senor Ybor was heavily taxed to fill the ever-yawning exchequer 
of Isabella, Queen ot Spain—and thereby hangs our tale. 
With a view to escaping these excessive taxes and also to avoid- 


ing the American customs imposts levied on manufactured cigars, 


Senor Ybor, with an enterprise extraordinary among the 
(proprietors), 


conserva- 


tive Havana duenos transported his factory to the

ployed cigar makers of the highest skill, many of them descendants 
of the original colonists brought over by Senor Ybor, and others con- 
stantly recruited from the best modern fadagueros from Havana itself. 

Indeed, the Havana-American Company’s newest factory lately 
opened at Key West, is the largest in America devoted to the 
exclusive manufacture of Havana cigars. And here working condi- 
tions are so superior and wages steadily so high that there is com- 
petition even among Cuban cigar makers of the skill for

If you are a smoker and could visit these factories in Key West 
and ‘Tampa and contrast their modern equipment as to lighting, venti- 
lation, comfort, safety, sanitation, etc., with the forbidding, unwhole- 
some and unsanitary conditions of the average cigar “‘factory’’ (so often 
little more than a crowded room like an eastside sweatshop)-—you would 
be deeply impressed with the perfection of equipment and organization 
characteristic of the Havana-American Company’s factories and system. 

All smokers are urged to visit the El Principe de facto- 
ries when in the vicinity of Key West or Tampa. ‘lo see the Cuban 
experts, each molding his pet shape of cigar—to learn all their odd 
and historic associations, and to watch the older workmen whose whole 
life, perhaps, has been given up to the making of one size or shape of 
El Principe de Gales—these things are of never failing interest. 

From the day of its establishment in this country El Principe de 
Gales began to grow in sales, its originator zealously striving to producea 
cigar that would be judged asa true Havana in whatever part of the world 
it might encounter connoisseurs. Moreover he developed El Principe de 
Gales in so many shapes and sizes: so many gradations of strength and

HAT IS IMPORTANT? ‘To newspapers, apparently, 
politics, in time of peace, and reflecting, sheep-like, 
this judgment of the trade, we give first place at 
present to the Struggle of the Parties to increase 
their membership in Congress. ‘That this combat is 
the most momentous doing now on earth, the Administration 
would agree, for every sinew is being bent to rout the evil foe. 
Speaker CANNON, Secretary Tarr, Cicero BEVERIDGE, and other 
men of gravity and stress, baring their simitars, betook them 
urgently to Maine and smote the opposition lustily. The in- 
habitants of that State of Prohibition and Peruna listened to the 
claps of earnestness and voted, far more than is their custom, 
for the Democrats. They were told that Mr. RoosEveL’T was the 
issue. To their simple minds he figured but feebly 
BARKINGS in the election of a Governor, and not preemi- 
nently even in judging of a Congressman. All over 
the country we hope to see a corresponding independence. Let 
State issues be considered in State elections, and in selecting Con- 
gressmen may the best man always win. We have an excellent 
President, but in spite of his party ardor it can not be made to 
appear that Republicans help and Democrats injure the work 
that he is doing. All the House votes against the rate bill were 
Republican. The Philippine Tariff bill was killed by the Repub- 
Speaker Cannon had to be frightened out of opposition 
to the Pure Food bill. The American people are not credulous 
enough to engulf the assertion that the Republican Party and 
the President’s performances are bound together in any Siamese 
relation. 


licans. 


ABOR HAS THE RIGHT to fight in politics, to the same extent 
as any other organized interest, neither more nor less. If it 
thinks certain Congressmen hostile to its just demands, reason 
would prompt it to oppose their reelection. Any honest man, on 
the other hand, should defy labor as well as capital when his 
conscience so commands him. Mr. LI?TrLeriELp’s opinions on 
iabor measures are to some extent shared and to 
some extent opposed by us, but regardless of such 
differences of judgment we rejoice in the re- 
election of a brave and upright man, precisely as we should 
rejoice had he been an equally bold, straight, and capable labor 
representative slated by capital for destruction. 


LITTLEFIELD 


Labor will con- 
tinue its political activity, gaining power here as it has in Eng- 
land, but inevitably, like any other party, it will often endeavor 
to ruin some of our most high-minded office-holders because of 
honest differences of conviction. 


NTENSITY IN FEELING is being maintained, if not increased, 

as the trial of Moyer and Haywoop draws more near. A 
hearing before the Supreme Court of the United States on points 
of law is scheduled to begin at Washington on October 9. Dur- 
ing the summer each faction has been busily assailing the other 
for preventing a speedy trial. The Socialists of Shoshone County, 
in their platform, declared that the principles for which Moyer 
and Haywoop stand are diametrically opposed to murder, which 


is at least interesting, although in some _ conflict 
Cr oaks ok with other expressions of the miners’ union. 

CLARENCE DaARROw, addressing his party at Spo- 
kane, made a long speech, most of which, as reported in the 
papers, was in line with this: “‘If he (the laboring man) knew 
anything, he wouldn’t be working, and the capitalist would be 
depending on him.’’ Of coal he said it should belong not to 
Bakr, but to ‘‘us,’’ and added: ‘tI am not particular whether 
we pay for it or not in getting it.’’ The renomination of the 


Governor of Idaho, who has already decided that Moyer and Hay- 











woop are guilty, represents one side of this violent controversy. 
Such expressions as the Socialists are putting out every week 
represent the other. It will be a triumph for the jury system 
if the trial can be conducted as fairly as if socialism, unionism, 
and capitalism were abstract terms in which no passion burned. 


O AGREEABLE TOPIC is Mr. Hearst, and yet between 

now and the 6th of November he is a subject orm which 
constant thinking must be done. Not at all slight is his chance 
of achieving the Governorship, which, if hard times should come, 
would make him a serious candidate for the Presidency. How- 
ever far his money, determination, and ability carry him, he can 
not much impair this country. If our self-government is worth 
the name, we could endure the triumph of a self-seeking agitator 
or two with little loss. Alarm is needless. It is a cause for 
regret, however, that the leader of the extremists 
should be a man who will play any card to 
strengthen his personal success. ‘*You furnish the 
pictures,’’ he cabled to FREDERIC REMINGTON in 1898, “‘and I'll 
furnish the war.’’ ‘There is the man in a nutshell. He would 
‘*furnish’’ a war, or anything else, without a moment’s hesitation 
that advanced his climb to power. As Governor of New York 
he could remove mayors, district attorneys, sheriffs, and police 
commissioners all over the State, and appoint their successors, 


MAN AND 
CAUSE 


besides making temporary judicial appointments. Liberal steps 
are bound to be taken rapidly in this country. The present 
question is, is Hearst the man whom the strong and reflective 
citizens of our country would choose to execute their ideals? 


ECAUSE PAYING FOR CRIME, an enterprise of the Atlanta 
‘*News,’’ struck us as unadvisabie, that paper emits much 
foam at our expense. Because we disbelieve in lynching, partly 
for its effect on the lynchers and partly because it tends to in- 
crease the evil it attacks, this noble publication asserts that we 
are ‘“‘in favor of negro criminals.’’ ‘The editor of the **News’’ is 
aware, no doubt, that one injured girl has more sympathy from 
us than the sufferings of all the criminal brutes, white or black,

ALLING A HUSBAND UP maliciously on the telephone, day 

and night, has been ruled in Massachusetts not to be an 
actionable misdemeanor in a wife. The judge added, however, 
by way of gratuitous observation, this: ‘‘I think that one having 
a telephone in his house could enjoin a person from continuously 
ringing him up day and night upon unimportant matters which 
he had no right to do, to the loss of sleep and rest to the occu- 


pant and to his great annoyance.’’ With new 

methods of communication come new subjects for R. F. D. 
lawyers and the rest of us to discuss. ‘Take rural 

free delivery, for instance. With the telephone, this is chang- 
ing the most important aspects of country life. Some persons 
oppose it because, among other reasons, it costs money Such 
persons would probably oppose the mail service if it were a 
newer question. Ihe rural free delivery, like every means of

periodicals issued in this country in a year exceeds 8,000,-

2,500 of the 25,000 newspapers are issued daily. <A century ago 
there was about one newspaper for every 26,000 persons; now 
there is about one for every 3,500. This also, like the tele- 
phone, the telegraph, free libraries, schools, and the free de- 
livery, will not be set back, but, as far as can now be seen, will 


still increase. For better or worse? For better, 
NEWSPAPERS far, far for better, when we think of the roots of 
self-government and self-knowledge. But, as the 


laws of compensation and cost apply to most things, so do we 
pay a price for this vast increase of reading in the rough. May 
the people read, not less, but more wisely, selecting their news- 
papers and periodicals not for excitement, but for ripeness and for 
truth, and not allowing the tense, ephemeral interest of the jour- 
nal, the novel, or the magazine to crowd into the background 
those lasting and uplifting volumes which give repose and strength.

HANGE IS DISCONCERTING, frequently, merely because it 

cuts across a habit, regardless altogether of any other con-

the editorial pages in the present fashion, we anticipated some 
regretful comment, in which we have not been disappointed. It 
is possible, of course, that the readability of these two pages has 
actually been reduced by a change which was a necessary step 
in the improvement of the color printing, but more probably it 
will turn out before long to have made not the slightest differ-

felt disappointment we will bring two other philosophers upon the

RECONNOITRING 


The Russian revolutionists had something to 
exult over on September 15 in the death of General 
Dmitri Trepoff, until two weeks previously the 
Governor of Peterhof Palace. General Trepoff had 
been notorious for his merciless severity in main- 
taining the imperial authority, and he had been 
under sentence of death for a long 
time. He had repeatedly escaped 





nothing better than an American 
investigation. The Palma Govern- 
ment, which would have preferred 
armed intervention in its own be- 
half without an investigation, was 
not quite so well pleased, but it 
dissembled its disappointment, de- 
clared an armistice, and opened 
negotiations of its own.

however, may have been the indi-

hundred persons were arrested for 
rejoicing too publicly at his death.

PROGRESS IN CHICAGO 











HE policy of municipal ownership of the trac- 

tion lines, for which the people of Chicago 

have so often shown their desire, is slowly 
becoming disentangled from the coils of legal red 
tape in which its opponents have swathed it. On 
September 15 Judge Thomas G. Windes rendered a 
sweeping decision, sustaining the Mueller law on 
all points. He held that the law did not violate 
the State Constitution, that it was not contrary to 
public policy, since the Legislature determined 
what was public policy, that its provisions did not 
go beyond its title, that the provision permitting

Dunne’s comment was: ‘‘The decision is another 
victory for the principle of municipal ownership, 


which never yet has met a defeat, either at the

hands of the Legislature, or of the people, or of 
the courts.’’ Mr. Fisher, special counsel for the 
city, said that the City Council’s Transportation 
Committee might now make an agreement with the 
companies for the reconstruction of the properties 
and their retention until purchased. — If these nego- 
tiations failed the city would fall back on its powers 
under the Mueller law. ‘‘We should have a deci- 
sion from the Supreme Court,’’ he added, ‘‘by 
January or February. If it is favorable, the Mayor 
could then submit the operation proposition to the 
people again at the spring election, and then go 
ahead to purchase or to construct an independent 
municipal system.’’ 








HE vortex of the political whirlpool of late 

has been New York, where a most singular 

situation has developed. A great historic 
party, which from the very foundatjon of the Con- 
stitution has been one of the two formidable forces 
of New York politics, and for the greater part of 
that time has controlled the State, is now threat- 
ened with reduction to the rank of a minor party, 
along with the Socialists and the Prohibitionists, 
and with the loss of its share of the election 
machinery; and this at the very time when every- 
thing has seemed to be ready for its return to

York this year. The Republican party has been

But Mr. Hearst began to develop dangerous strength 
as a Democratic candidate for Governor. He se- 
cured the delegates from several counties, but, 
not satisfied with his progress in that direction, he 
undertook to seize the nomination by force. He 
called the convention of his Independence League 
for a date two weeks ahead of that of the Democ- 
racy, with the idea that when the League had put 
him in nomination the Democratic Party would not 
dare to refuse to follow its example, since he could 
draw away votes enough to beat any other Demo- 
cratic candidate. But when his convention met on 
September 11 it refused to be a party to any bargain 
with the Democrats. It nominated Mr. Hearst for

Mr. Winston Churchill’s brilliant fight against 
the Boston and Maine Railroad for the Republican 
nomination for Governor of New Hampshire came 
nearer to success than most people had expected. 
At the Republican convention on September 18 
Mr. Charles M. Floyd, one of the railroad candi- 
dates, was nominated on the ninth ballot by 408 
votes, only 8 more than were needed for a choice, 
to 335 for Churchill and 56 scattering. It was 
necessary to form a combination of the other can- 
didates to beat Churchill, and even then the railroad 
had to allow his anti-pass, lobby-regulation, direct 


national Committee alone. A trick ticket for the 
Mutual, containing the names of “fifteen of the 
policy-holders’ nominees. drafted without their con- 
sent, and headed by the name of Mr. Charles E. 
Hughes, who had already refused to serve, was 
filed at the last moment. 

The Policy-holders’ ticket for the Mutual is 
headed by the name of Mayor Adam of Buffalo, and 
the thirty-five other candidates include Charles 
Andrews, ex-Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals; 
S. S. McClure, the publisher; ex-Mayor Phelan of 
San Francisco, Herman Ridder of the New York 
‘*Staats-Zeitung,’’ and Lord St. Oswald of England. 
The decoy ticket cuts out the fifteen McCurdy 
directors from the administration list, but still 
leaves a majority identified with the old régime. 
For the New York Life, the policy-holders’ ticket 
is headed by the name of Frederic R. Coudert, and

Collier’s for September 29 190€ 











This is the second of four articles dealing with William Randolph Hearst, his personality, his newspapers, and his politics. 


In these articles, impartiality has been the first consiaeration. 


They are designed, not to influence any man who favors 


or opposes Hearst’s propaganda; but rather to picture Hearst and his enterprises as they appear to the average man 


By FREDERICK PALMER 


LBERT PULITZER, a brother of Joseph Pu- 
litzer and a man of wholly different char- 
acter, founded the 
New York. He did not care who made the 
laws of a nation as long as he made its back- 

stairs gossip. The vulgar salaciousness which he unc- 
tuously called Gallic piquancy was so profitable that 
after a few years he was able to retire to Paris and live 
luxuriously on the income of the fortune he had ac- 
quired through servant maids’ ‘‘ Ohs!’’ and ‘‘ Ahs !”’ 
and ‘‘ Isn’t-it-dreadfuls!’’ This type of specialized 
daily has gone the way of ‘‘Town Topics,’’ which was 
the corresponding type of specialized weekly. 

As a basis upon which to build a vast newspaper en- 
terprise the ‘‘Journal’’ offered Hearst a plant, a skele- 
ton organization, a certain amount of advertising, and 
a particular clientele of readers which, wanting an 
organ of their own, might be departmentally included 
in a publication appealing to a broader field. The new 
owner spent twice as much in the first month upon his 
New York property as it had cost him. It is said that 
when one of his lieutenants was asked how Hearst ex- 
pected to compete with the *‘World”’ in the ‘‘World’s”’ 
own field, the response was: ‘*By making the ‘Journal’ 
worse.’’ This is a story, and the reader may take it as 
a story at its face value. We are concerned only with 
the fact that the Hiearst method was to be the Pulitzer- 
ian method, but this time on a scale of acrobatic mad- 
ness and extravagance which surpassed anything of 
which Pulitzer had ever r dreamed. 

At this time the ‘‘World’s’’ profits averaged over 
$20,000 a weck. It sold for two cents a copy. Hearst 
made as large a paper as the ‘‘World’’ for one cent. 
Pulitzer had a few chosen geniuses of his style of work 
around him wom he had trained from youth. Hearst 
offered them increased salaries, and they left the old 
for the new wonder machine. 
In New York newspaperdom 
at the time, the «universal 
question which the clever 
man was asking himself was 
whether or not he would go 
over to the yellows for pay. 
Many who had received no otf 
sers intimated that they had, 
in order to show that they 
were in the swim. It was at 
least something of a com- 
pliment to some men to be 
an object of seduction, even 
if not seducible, by Hearst 

Be it said to the credit of 
the independence of the call- 
ing that the refusals were as 
numerous as the acceptances. 
I wonder if as large a num- 
ber of lawyers would adher¢ 
to a principle in preference 
to retainers trom a corpora 
tion. I know men who made 
sacrifices for themselves and 
their families rather than 
“turn yellow,’’ as the phras« 
goes. Many of the deskmen 
of the ‘‘Sun’’ were offered 
double pay to desert the 
‘Sun,’’ and they answered 
truthfully that if they were 
true to themselves as copy- 
readers they would make a 
‘Sun”’ for Mr. Hearst, and 
a ‘‘Sun”’ they knew was not 
what he wanted 

Those who went out of 
curiosity in answer to the in 
timation that ‘You will heat 
something of interest if you 
will call,’”’ and met Hearst 
himself, were usually won

Su y nsations, the er of “Yellow Kid” 


roué,”’ they met a quiet, boyish-looking, rosy-cheeked 
man who had a charming smile. He made it seem 
easy and delightful to work on the ‘‘Journal.’’ It was, 
in some respects, if you worked with Hearst himself; 
but unless you were to play a big part you scarcely ever 
saw him or spoke with him after the first meeting. You 
were thrown into the turmoil of the ‘‘Journal’’ office. 
If you could produce sensations and hold your own 
in the intrigues of office politics, you might survive; 
otherwise, you found yourself out of a _ position, 
and there were some editors of the older types 
of papers who made it a rule never to take back 
a man who had deserted them for a yellow—a rule 
which they have wisely and justly broken in later 
years. 

Repeating his ‘‘Examiner’’ tactics, the new ‘‘]Jour- 
nal’’ was in full bloom when it first appeared. Wild 
as it was, city editors soon had to consider it seriously 
because it frequently scored on sensational news. 
The initial issue was ushered in with a ‘‘beat’’ on the 
text of Lord Dunraven’'s statement of his case in the 
famous yacht-racing controversy which was a subject 
of boiling public interest at the time. The ‘‘Journal’s”’ 
reporters rode in cabs and worked in phalanxes. Where 
there was no news they made news. 

While Hearst took famous journalists away from 
other newspapers at higher pay, he took famous artists 
and writers away from magazines. This extravagant 
tendency of the youth from the West, who was bound 
to make a sensation regardless of money, his total 
disregard of old journalistic methods, inevitably made 
him an object of anger and ridicule in the publishing 
world. In a month he had made all America alive to 
the fact that he, William R. Hearst, was splashing 
more ink—red, blue, yellow, and black—in more fan- 
tastic ways upon wood pulp in New York than any 
other man. 

With his forces deserting, 
with his circulation record in 
danger, Pulitzer, the old war- 
horse of publicity, half blind, 
a restless spirit moving from 
one of his mansions to an- 
other, or directing his paper 
from abroad, returned to 
command in person the as- 
sault upon his great monop- 
oly. He lowered the price 
of the ‘‘World’’ to one cent; 
he gave as much wood pulp 
and as much ink— black, blue, 
red, and yellow—as Hearst. 
The dynamic energy of his 
}ersonal direction of a thou- 
sand affairs, his teeming fac- 
ulty for the invention § of 
public surprises, he turned 
against the amiably indolent 
young man who had spasms 
of energy and left details te 
his assistants 


The amiably indolent 





young man, with his charm- 
ing mile and mild blue 
eyes, enjoyed the situation 
hugely and lost neither his 
temper nor his sleep. Pulit- 
zer brought back the men

This position had given him new principles,

that his style of jour-

in common with Hearst’s. 
The ‘* World”? and the ‘‘ Journal’ 

His loyalty to his principles was shown when 
he bolted Bryan and the silver issue and left 
his rival alone in the field as the Democratic 
organ. To-day the man who once boasted so 
continuously of circulation, whose life cry was 


circulation, grants the honor of selling the most 


newspapers to Hearst; while the ‘* Worlid,”’ hav- 
ing its own niche and its own clientele, is not 
a competitor of the ‘‘Journal,’’ and yet is as 


powerfl as ever. I have referred a great deal 


to Pulitzer, because he was the real p enitor 
of Hearst and Hearstism. Pulitzer’s career 
with the ‘‘World”’ began before the first Cleve- 
land campaign, when uneasiness with the meth- 


ods of our corporations was in its inception, 
and we were turning away from the cut-and- 
dried formula of the old order to changes 
whose trend we do not yet understand

Chamberlain. A fifth, also an old ‘*Worid’”’ 
no longer with Hearst is James Creelman, 
wounded at El Caney under 
enough to please any yellow editor. 

In a word, Brisbane is the intellectual 
Goddard the paint-mixer for the Sunday edition, 
Chamberlain the genius of the daily news, and 
Carvalho the business manager. Brisbane's is 
the name well known to the public. Cartoons 
picture Hearst as a wabbly balloon with Bris- 
bane working the bellows. The first time my 
attention was called to Brisbane was by a full- 
page article by him about Nikola Tesla, the 
electrician, in the Sunday ‘‘World.’’ Among 
other things he said that Tesla, after watching 


me

a game of billiards for a time, took up a cue 
and, owing to his wonderful knowledge of 
angles, although he had never played before, 
beat everybody in the room. 
The Versatile Brisbane 

I looked the matter up and found that the 
bald statement had many qualifications. Then 
it was not so ¢nteresting Brisbane has ‘he 


quality of being more interesting on paper toa 
larger number of readers than any other man. 
He sees everything from the view-point o: the 
reading public which wants something new 
every day. Every idea presented to him is 
immediately resolved into that fraction or that 
side of it which, shot out of a press in capital 
letters, will hold public attention. 


The sum of his genius is his art of stating a 
part so that it will seem a whole. Public 


memory is such that he can disagree with him- 


self 


many times in a month. Attractive in 
manner, buoyant and brilliant, you must per- 
sonally like him. He not only writes the edi- 
torials of the ‘‘Evening Journal,’’ but he is 
also its editor and director; and of all the 
Hearst papers, except the San Francisco *‘ Ex- 
aminer’’ before the earthquake, this has been 


the most paying and successful. 

He is as proud of having invented headlines 
as Bell of having invented the telepuone. If 
you ask him what is the use of headlines one 
foot deep on the evening edition, he will tell 


you that it is the best way to attract attention 


to the ‘‘Journal’’ among all the evening edi- 
tions that the newsboy has on his arm. Nor 
does he confine his designs to the newsboy 
alone. He makes every reader an involuntary 
sandwich man Putting his editorials, comi 
cartoons, and sermonettes on the last page, 
he compels you to turn the front page out 
ward so that its frenzied headlines may hit 
the world in the face and force it to see that

If Goddard had lived in the Middle Ages he would

ing his brain for an idea one day, he happened to look 
over his shoulder at an artist, who was also seeking an 


idea and was absently drawing a fantastic face with 
a spot for a nose and two spots for eyes on his 
board. 


“That’s a good kid,’’ Goddard said. ‘*We’ll dress 
him ina yellow shirt and call him the Yellow Kid and 
have funny things printed on his shirt. We'll put him 
through all kinds of stunts and he’ll go.”’

after morning, in the tempestuous early days when the 
‘*Journal”’ was ever trying to outdo itself, he sprang a 
surprise. Out of the mass of sensational matter which 
was suggested in the office or brought in by the report- 
ers (whose accounts were cabinet made out of all sem- 
blance to the original) he selected that which was the 
most startling; he understood how much it would stand 
in the way of space, and was quickest to see how it 
could be ‘‘played up’’ to the best advantage. 

‘Playing up”’ is the creative side of the modern edi- 
tor’s work. It is the spirit of the headlines; the art of 
making the small light illuminate not only the bushel, 
but the surrounding country as well; the trick of 
telling the public what you have in a way that will 
increase the seeming importance of your possession to 
the highest degree. On the ‘‘Journal’’ a single item of 
detail of one of the day’s events might be ex- 
panded into a ‘‘feature.’’ If a young woman 
was in any way the subject of a startling 
romance, the artist made her beautiful in wash 
imitation of a photograph, because the heroine 


of a romance ought to be beautiful. Thus 
every piece of news was staged as Belasco 
a stages a scene in a play. 


Features Rather Than News 


The most famous of the ‘‘Journal’’ features 
eccurred to Creelman when he saw acablegram 
from Cuba saying that Miss Evangelina Cisne- 
ros, the daughter of a Cuban patriot, was in 
jailin Havana. But now that Cuba is free and 
in the throes of a new insurrection, the ex- 
clusive rescue of the beautiful captive from the 
hands of the cruel Spaniards is too old a story 
to call for further tears or comment, and valu- 
able only to illustrate the methods of Hearst 
and Hearstism. 

Essentially the Hearst publications are not 
newspapers, but feature and picture papers. 
The rescue of Miss Cisneros was feature paper 
and not newspaper work. But a young woman 
in prison, subjected to torments by the cruel 
Spaniards, made an appeal to the emotions of 
the public, which sold more editions than coh 
plete unbiased reports of the Cuban situation 
from day today. In the midst of the bizarre and Pom- 
peian reception which was given to the young woman 
at Delmonico’s the man who footed the bills came into 
the room where she stood among the palms, shyly 
shook hands with the heroine whom his wonder ma- 
chine had created, and then excused himself and 
hastened away in his automobile. 

Any one who had a brief public glimpse of him on 
this occasion might easily have accepted the general 
impression of the time that he was only the 
banker for such men of ideas and force 
Brisbane, Carvalho, Goddard, Creelman, 
Chamberlain. However, it had been said in 
San Francisco, as it was now said in New 
York, that he was only the headpiece of a 
brilliant staff; and Brisbane and Carvalho 
were not with him then.

The discovery of first one and then 
another of the sections created one of these 
sensations which make papers sell when the 
general public scarcely look at the headlines of 
a debate in Cungress. Hearst personally took 
the same morbid and intense interest in this 
case as his readers and personally took charge 
of its direction for his paper. He rented the 
house where the Nack woman lived in order to 
keep the other newspaper men out; he bribed 
the rubbers of the Turkish bath-house, who 
had the secret of the physical mark which 
would identify the murdered man, to keep 
silence until the ‘‘Journal’’ sleuths had their 
case of identification complete, and then he

nothing to show that the city was less than three years 
from a great calamity. There were no yawning vacant 
spaces, no piles of debris, no smoke-begrimed skeleton 
walls. In all the one hundred and forty acres of the 
Burnt District there were only eighty vacant building 
sites at the time of the jubilee, and most of these were 
to be improved as soon as the new docks and the street- 
widening projects had made sufficient progress. The 
only thing unusual was an odd look of newness about 
the district, as if a city ordered in bulk from a factory 
had just been unpacked. No matter. how many new 
buildings there may be on astreet, it is usually stippled 
with the dull tones of old ones, but here everything 
was fresh, new, and glaring. 

The great fire of February 7 and 8, rg04, burned fif- 
teen hundred and twenty-six buildings, four lumber 
yards, and some of the principal docks. It caused a 
loss of about $100,000,000, of which not quite $30,000,000 
was recovered from the insurance companies. The 
flames ate out the business heart of the city, but for- 
tunately few people were made homeless, and there was 
little distress. Of the great relief funds which the rest 
of the country was eager to offer Baltimore refused to 
accept acent. The Legislature of Maryland appropri- 
ated a quarter of a million to help the destitute, but 
less than a tenth of the amount was spent. The work 
of rebuilding furnished employment to the men thrown 
out of their regular jobs, and every family was its own 
independent Relief Committee. 

3altimore had now an opportunity which a few years 
earlier would not have been appreciated. Then the 
people would have thought of nothing better than to 
have property-owners rebuild as fast as possible on the 
old lines 3ut now a civic consciousness was develop- 
ing everywhere, and Baltimore shared it People were 
beginning to realize that the city had a common life 
and common interest Accordingly they decided that 
the work of reconstruction should not be left entirely 


to the haphazard enterprise of landowners, but that 
the whole community should have something to say 
about it. They created a Burnt District Commission 
with Mr. Sherlock Swann a rman, to acquire land 
fora system of street and dock improvements. The 
city had recently sold its interests in the Western 
Maryland Railroad, and had $4,600,000 of the money on 
hand. ‘T! te ( vith th ( f a special 
dock loan of six million dollars, was put at t dispo

of the Burnt District Commission. Apparently some 
people expected miracles to be wrought at once, for in 
May, 1g04, only two months after the commission had 
come into existence, it was assailed with editorials and 
cartoons demanding its removal on the ground that it 
had done nothing. It is now closing its work with a 
record of industry not often matched. In two years 
and a half, which in New York would be considered 
about a fair time for the condemnation of a single block 
of land for a playground, it has made provision for 
widening fourteen streets, involving the acquisition of 
seven hundred separate pieces of property, with over 
ten miles of frontage, and has laid out six great new 
public docks, with over twenty-three acres of pier sur- 
face, which will transform the position of Baltimore as 
a seaport. The greater part of this work was done in 
the first nine months, during which time the Commis- 
sioners and their employees recklessly violated all union 
rules about hours of labor, working often late at night, 
and forgetting the meaning of holi- 
days. ‘‘But with your permis- 
sion,’’ said Chairman Swann, in a 
report to the Mayor at the end of 
this strenuous period, ‘‘the Chair- 
man proposes to take three full 
and consecutive days off the latter 
part of next week.’’ 

In one respect the reconstruction 
of the burnt district has been a 
little disappointing. There has 
been no attempt to make any radi- 
cal improvement in the old arrange- 
ment of the streets. There are no 
radiating avenues, no concentric 
boulevards, and few new open 
spaces to give dignity to monu- 
mental buildings and promote the 
circulation of the people. 3ut the 
Opportunities for ambitious designs 
of this kind were not very favor 
able. The natural civic centre was 
just outside of the burnt district, 
which was not large enough in 
itself to hold more than a fragment 
of a new street system. The most 
urgent need seemed to be for widen- 
ing the « xisting streets, and that 
has been generously met. A nar- 
row street bisecting the burnt dis 
trict has widened through 
almost its whole length toa breadth 
f one hundred and eight feet 
This improvement alone, if it had 


been

probably have confined the fire to 
ispace of forty acres instead of a rt "

down, and crosswise. But the greatest transforrna- 
tion is on the water front. ‘There the narrow streets 
that bordered two sides of the basin that forms the 
inner harbor have been expanded to a width of from 
one hundred and twenty to one hundred and twenty- 
six feet, and a collection of rotting old private wharfs 
has been acquired by the city to be turned into six 
magnificent public piers, capable of accommodating 
the largest ocean steamers. At the same time the city 
is just finishing a model public market, wholesale and 
retail, covering three blocks. 

Baltimore's awakening did not stop with these visible 
improvements. There were others, invisible but even 
more important. It will hardly be believed, but Baiti- 
more, a city as large as Boston or St. Louis, a commer- 
cial metropolis and one of the oldest and richest places 
in the country, has no sanitary sewerage system. With 
few exceptions, the drainage of the homes of six hun- 
dred thousand people goes into cesspools in the back- 

yards. Last year a Sewerage Com- 
mission, backed by a lcan of ten 
million dollars, was established to 
deal with this remarkable situation, 
f and here was where the succulent 
oyster got in his beneficent work. 
Like the Kentuckian’s whisky, no 
oysters are bad, but some are better 
than others, and those of Chesa- 
peake Bay are the aristocrats ofa 
noble tribe. Maryland guards them 
with jealouscare. She keepsa navy 
to do battle in their defense. Mere 
people in St. Louis may be com- 
pelled by the Supreme Court of 
the United States to drink the 
sewage of Chicago, but no such 
indignity can be forced upon the 
Chesapeake Bay oyster if Maryland 
knows it. If Baltimore wants a 
sewerage system it must get one to 
which the oysters can offer no ob- 
jection. Sosaid the Maryland Leg- 
islature in creating the Sewerage 
Commission, and it put into the act 
a clause providing that no sewage 
should be discharged into Chesa- 
peake Bay or any of its tributaries. 
That made it necessary at once to 
put aside the plan adopted by most 
American cities of dumping their 
crude sewage into the nearest body 
of water. In accordance with the 
law the Sewerage Commission re- 
soived ‘‘that the effluent proposed 


to be discharged into the Chesa 
rked th peake Bay or its tributaries shall

permanent of purity.’’ Following these in

structions, the engineers devised a plan 
which will give Baltimore by far the most 
extensive sewage purification system in 
the United States. Under this system the 
sewage will first be run into large basins, 
or ‘‘septic tanks,’’ where the solid con- 
tents will settle to the bottom and be at- 
tacked by bacteria which will dissolve and 
evaporate a great part of them. ‘The rest 
of the ‘‘sludge’’ will be disposed of on land 
in an inodorous and inoffensive form. The 
partly clarified sewage from the septic 
tanks will be sprayed over ‘‘sprinkling 
filters’’ of broken stone. Thence it will 
pass to small settling basins, and then to 
intermittent sand filters, after which, as 
Chief Engineer Hendrick asserts, it will 
be purer than the average city’s drinking 
water. In that condition it wil! be con- 
sidered endurable by the sensitive oyster, 
especially at a distance, and it will be 
turned into Back River, about five miles 
from Baltimore, which is a long way from 
the nearest oyster beds. 

Incidentally the work of the Sewerage 
Commission promises a great addition to 
the convenience and. beauty of Baltimore.

mittee had an eye to business as well as to 
esthetics. It reported that it had under 
consideration ‘ta recommendation to the 
city to purchase a belt of suburban prop- 
erty, with a view to directing the city’s 
growth into the suburbs, certain parts of 
such property to be retained as parks, and 
certain other parts to be leased as the city 
grew up to them, the improvements to fail 
in eventually to the city.’’ The idea was 
that ‘‘timely action of this kind might 
not only result in the city getting such 
park lands practically free of cost, but 
might eventually greatly reduce the tax 
rate.”’ 

In 1902 the Art Society retained Olm- 
sted Brothers, the landscape architects of 
Poston, to devise a plan for the develop- 
ment of the public grounds of Baltimore, 
guaranteeing the cost, which was afterward 
assumed by the city, and their report was 
transmitted to the Park Commissioners 








Part of the new Municipal Market, covering three entire city blocks 





just two days before the fire. Baltimore 
already had some attractive parks, the 
chief of which, Druid Hill, was almost as 
large as Central Park in New York, and of 
just about the same age, but they were 


The city’s nearest approach to a sewer hitherto has , unrelated and altogether inadequate to the needs of the 


been the malodorous lower course of the creek called 4 growing city. The O]msted report proposed an enor- 
Jones Falls, which won fame in history as the moat Ss mous extension of the system, at the same time binding 
behind which the defenders made their last and suc- | all its parts together in one organic whole. The scheme 
cessful stand against the great fire of 1904. This part , | was strung on the waterways. Each stream flowing 
of the stream, over a hundred feet wide, stretches into the harbor of Baltimore was made the spinal cord 


for two miles through the business part of the city 
from the harbor to the point at which the Olmsted 
plans, to be mentioned later, propose to utilize it for 
a parkway. The Sewerage Commission's engineers 
have planned to confine all the water of the creek on 
this lower course in closed sewers on its bed, fill up the 
space above them, and turn it into a sunken boule- 
vard, bordered by shaded, grass-covered terraces. If 
this scheme is carried out, as the indications are that it 
will be—the Commission having the power, the money, 
and apparently the inclination, to do it—Baltimore will 
have a new and beautiful thoroughfare in the place of 


of a long, winding park or parkway, the whole waving 
outward in all directions like the legs of a gigantic ta- 
rantula, These are connected by cross boulevards. One 
great water park alone, on the estuary of Back River, 
is to contain nearly five thousand acres—2,4o0 of land 
and 2,560 of water. Some of the existing city parks are 
to be enlarged, and various small ones, with play- 
grounds and field houses, are to be scattered through 
the settled districts. 


The Great Outer Park System 











an unsightly and ill-smelling open drain. 


Municipal Subways and Franchise Taxes 


With all her conservatism Baltimore has had some 
peculiarly progressive ideas. For instance, she put all 
her electric wires, except trolley wires, underground 
some time ago, and unlike New York, which gave a 
private electrical subway company a monopoly that 
entrenched her telephone, telegraph, and lighting mon- 
Hence she 
has competition in telephone service, and no competi- 
tive electrical enterprise of any other kind need stay 
out of the city for lack of a place to string its wires. 
One of the first street railroad lines in the world was 
established in Baltimore in 1859. At the beginning of 
an era when other cities recklessly gave away franchises 
to all comers, Baltimore set the example of requiring 
their holders to pay a share of their gross receipts into 
the municipal treasury. Nor was she satisfied with the 
little two or five per cent of the gross receipts that 
modern corporations have become reconciled to paying 
in other places. She charged her first street railroad 
company twenty per cent, to be applied to the purchase, 
improvement, and maintenance of parks and parkways, 
and that was the origin of Baltimore’s present park 
system. The payments on most of the street railroad 
lines now amount to nine per cent of their gross re- 
ceipts, all of which goes to the Park Commissioners, 


opolies, she kept her subways for herself. 

















giving them a revenue of about $350,000 a year. _Prac- 


tically the entire expense of Baltimore’s Park Depart 


ment is borne by the street- 
car company, which not 
only maintains the great 


Baltimore and Charles Streets, in the burnt district 


The execution of this plan will give Baltimore a park 
system adequate to all the needs of the next forty or 
fifty years. The land needed can all be secured for 
about three million dollars, of which the city has 
already voted a million. Unlike some of the magnifi- 
cent projects cherished by other cities, this one is no 
dream. It is to be actually carried out, and the growth 
of the street railway business ensures the money to foot 
the bills. The people can vote park bonds, cheerfully 
conscious that they will never feel their burden, since 
the interest and principal will come out of the nickels 
with which the passengers on the cars would have to 
part In any Case. 

The development of the water fronts will give Balti- 
moreans a new pleasure in living. The map shows so- 
called lakes in the present parks, but all of them of any 
importance are simply reservoirs—parts of the city’s 
water-supply system. A reservoir is not necessarily 
ugly, although it is usually a rather arid feature of a 
landscape, but at the best it is only something t 
look at, not to play with. It does not lend itself 
to that delightful intimacy to which one is wel- 
comed by a real lake. You are not allowed to boat 
on it or sit on its banks and skip stones on the water, 
or paddle or swim in it. There is nothing in Bal- 
timore now of which it can be said, as the Olmsted 
report says of one of the proposed new water parks 
“The upper reaches of the Creek form an ideal 
region for small boating, for picnicking, and for swim- 
ming and water sports.’’ In another place, along the 
Patapsco River, ‘there is a splendid example ot the 

picturesqueness of a river 
gorge on a large scale, the 





park system already in ex- 
istence, but is expected to 
maintain the still greater 
one proposed by the Olm- 
sted report. 

The ambitious outer park 
scheme was one thing for m 
which Baltimore did not R 
have to wait for the fire. 
It sprang from that general 
impulse toward civic bet- 
terment that has swept over 
the breadth of the conti- 
nent. The first definite sug- 
gestion of it was made by 
the Executive Committee 
of the Municipal Art So- 
ciety in 1900. This com-

sewer, which it is proposed 
to fill up and turn into a 


sunken boulevard, bordered

to a height of four hundred 
feet above the rushing 
stream.’’ On the great Back 
River estuary there are four 
square miles of water sur- 
face, already enjoyed to 
some extent but needing 
to have its attractiveness 
preserved by public action. 

saltimore’s great park 
plan is an approaching re- 
ality. The needed money 
is in sight, and the proper 
authorities intend to carry 
it out. Within the next 
ten years Baltimore will be 
an even plea:anter place to 
live in than she is now.

Her father, with a swoop of his fan, would intercept a piece of dog-biscuit 


USIE had pulled a chair in front of the bureau, and 
she revolved upon it as steadily as possible, look- 
ing into the mirror at the hang of her skirt. Susie 
was a most delicate and spirited little person, and 
looked only about twenty, though she was twenty- 

six. Her husband lolled on the hard and bulging sofa 
and fanned himself, for the day was hot. Climax, the fox 
terrier, was getting too fat, and he also felt the heat; he 
panted patiently on the floor in the midst of a crumbling 
desert of dog-biscuit. The baby, in her night-gown for 
coolness’ sake, tottered amiably but unsteadily near the 
dog; every now and then her father would lean out 
from the sofa and with a swoop of his fan between her 
fingers and her opening mouth would intercept a piece 
of dog-biscuit and wave it to a distance. Susie, ex- 
pertly revolving in her fresh white dress and deciding 
in a capable glance that it hung perfectly, had some- 
thing like a flash of realization that an ingénue, how- 
ever prosperous, is a little excessive in allowing herself 
so many encumbrances. She jumped down and took up 
her hat. Susie was going to make the round of the the- 
atrical agencies, as she did three days a week; she was 
looking with a growing desperation for an engagement. 

Four years ago, before Miss Suzanne Grayce had 
married Mr. Walter Bates, she had been one of the 
most promising ingénues in the profession. No one 
had been quite as promising since, except perhaps this 
new girl, Mabel Rose, who seemed not only to have 
taken Susie’s place but to have walked directly ahead 
of her, closing the gate of every opportunity. Well, 
she herself had once walked into the stronghold of 
success, and she had done it so smoothly, so easily, 
that success had seemed the only thing natural to 
her; she had lived in a kind of pleasant, progressive 
game in which she had always gone higher with each 
move and in which she was to go much higher still. 
Then in a mood of thinking that she was living rather 
extravagantly ‘‘for a young girl’’ she had allowed her- 
self to be advised out of her pretty hotel into a blowzy 
boarding-house, and there she had met Walter Bates 
and had fallen in love with him and married him, He 
was out of an engagement and in debt, but he was very 
gentle and good-looking and he had excellent inten- 
tions; his intentions were still excellent, and he had 
kept his good looks and his gentleness. Susie was 
now also in debt and out of an engagement. 

This state of affairs was not due to any spiritual defi- 
ciency in Mr. Bates. He tried very hard; he had some 
small talent for playing parts, but none whatever for 
getting them. Whenever he was out of work he real- 
ized this to such an extent that he was apt to become 
quite pale about it. Unfortunately for any claim upon 
sympathy, he was apt at the same time to become a 
little puffy. If he did not get fat, he at least spread, 
unappealingly. So that in a time of such poignant 
uselessness as the present he continued to lounge upon 
the sofa and to grow paler and puffier from moment 
to moment. An unquenchable amusement at the ec- 
centricities of life lurked, aimlessly, in his expression

‘‘Wallie,’’ said his wife, suddenly observing him as 
she drew on her gloves, ‘‘I do wish I could afford you 
some fencing lessons. You need something, I’m sure.’’ 

‘*While you are wishing, Susie,’’ said Mr. Bates, ‘‘ wish 
that I could afford some for myself.’’ 

His wife looked at him witha fond frown. ‘‘Don’t 
worry,’’ said she brightly. ‘‘If only one of us can make 
some money it doesn’t matter which one it is."’ 

‘‘Not atall,’’ said Mr. Bates. ‘‘Angh-angh, Geraldine 
—drop it! It would be a good deal of luxury to me per- 
sonally to support my family myself, and who am I 
to afford luxuries? I don’t know if you want her to 
swallow that button, dear, but she’s doing it.”’ 

Geraldine was deprived of her button and placed 
upon the bed. Her mother poked at her, and rolled 
her over and over until she screamed with joy, and 
then suddenly deserted her and went over and stood 
beside the sofa. She had taken up her parasol and 
stood stroking the sofa with the point; she was grow- 
ing rather pale herself. 

Finally she said: ‘‘Wallie, do you feel quite comfort- 
able about going down to dinner here?’’ He did not 
answer, and she quivered out with: ‘‘We shall ave to 
pay Mrs. Lexis. She’s been very patient and she’ll 
have to have tt.’’ She stopped again, and then: ‘‘ Wal- 
ter, if I don’t get an engagement pretty soon, what 
will become of us?’’ He had not and could not have 
anything to say, but he stooped for the handkerchief 
she had dropped, and she took it from him with a 
little shiver. ‘‘Do you think,’’ she cried, and her voice 
tore on the words into a furtive sob, ‘‘do you think I 
shall have to sell my ruby bracelet?” 

‘“You may even get the engagement to-day,’’ said he 
and smiled upon her. 

She remembered that perhaps she might, and remem- 
bering also the charming little figure, impeccably ar- 
rayed, which had revolved before her in the glass, she 
took heart, brightening at him and giving his sleeve a 
small twist of confidence as she moved away. He got 
up and opened the door for her and, ‘‘Of course,’’ said 
she, with a punctilious loyalty, ‘‘if I don’t get any- 
thing to-day, you may get something to-morrow.”’ 

He looked at her a moment in amused surprise, and 
then with a sudden gravity took her face a little for- 
mally and distantly between his finger-tips and, stoop 
ing, kissed her. 

‘‘T’ll take care of the baby!”’ 
her.

USIE’S spurt of elation carried her down Broadway 

and up the stairs that lead to Mrs. Meade’s agency 
There it deserted her immediately and altogether. 

It was Monday morning, so the agency was very full

heat of the late summer. Beyond the low wire fence

pushed up to the fence, made themselves heard over 
the click of the typewriters beyond and were answered 
by shakes of the head from haughty employees within. 
The agent herself, Mrs. Meade, was immured with a 
manager in her private office. Susie saw that the 
women were greatly in the majority, and her sense of 
individuality failed her just when she most required 
it; she seemed to shrink indistinguishabiy into a sea 
of needy ingénues. She stood back against the wall 
fanning herself with her handkerchief and rather ag- 
gressively getting her breath after running upstairs. 
Susie had been in the habit of pitying girls thus try- 
ing to appear at ease, as she had once pitied their 
elaborate toilettes—elaborated in order to hide the in- 
dications of pretense and makeshift which had always 
frayed Susie’s nerves. ‘‘Oh,’’ she remembered once 
having said to Walter, ‘‘oh, an anxious-looking dress! 
I never could bear that!’’ Those were the days when 
she had plenty of offers, but refused all which did not 
include him. She wondered, now, what sort of dress, 
what sort of anxieties she might presently be obliged 
to endure. There is nothing like standing about agen- 
cies to wilt the starch out of superiority. 

Mrs. Meade herself, when she finally came forth, was 
not nearly so haughty as her employees. She said 
‘*Good morning,’’ and ‘‘No, nothing, not a thing, my 
dear,’’ to each person in turn, and when one loqua- 
cious girl said that the weather was so hot it took all 
the curl out of one’s hair, she said: ‘‘Oh, don’t curl it, 
dearie! Try the water-wave!’’ She shook hands with 
Susie, whom she remembered having told to come in to- 
day, and said at once: ‘‘Oh, they've filled that part, my 
dear; yes, they’ve engaged Elva Holmes.’’ There was 
nothing for Susie but to look as if she didn’t care and 
to get away as quickly as possible. At the next agency 
it was the same story, and at the next and the next. 
Susie knew people in every office, and she was aware 
that her smile of greeting was becoming forced. She 
hated herself for it, and yet she knew she was losing 
her nerve; persistence seemed so useless and the world 
so impenetrable a wall. Some of the stairways leading 
to the offices bore upon each step a sign which said: ‘‘No 
loiterers, tramps, or pedlers allowed in this building,” 
and Susie began to creep past these signs with a cer- 
tain sense of guilt. At the most successful of the 
agencies she glanced through the door and beheld 
many thriving-looking Thespians, elect ladies in rock- 
ing-chairs, fanning themselves and discussing new 
plays. Susie did not see how she could face the cold 
eye of an aristocracy to which she had once 
she faltered on the threshold, then 
there!”’ 
ing, fled 

At the corner of the street she was hailed by a girl 
she knew, a Miss Marsh, and they loitered together for 
a moment in front of a shop devoted to confectionery 
and ice-cream. Miss Marsh said that she was waiting 
for Eddie Clark; he had gone in somewhere to get 
some cigarettes. She managed to convey ail

proprietorship of Eddie by the tone in which she men- 
tioned him, which was reenforced by his having left her 
to straggle alone in the street, and she presently began 
telling Susie how near he had come to getting that 
splendid part in Granger’s Number Two Company of 
‘**Alaska,’’ only Norman Lawrence had gone up the day 
before Eddie was to sign and offered to go for half 
Eddie’s salary, and Granger had taken him. Susie felt 
that beating of the blood about her temples which she 
always suffered under contact with something treach- 
erous. ‘‘Lawrence ought to be turned out of the pro- 
fession,’’ she declared, with more violence than becomes 
an ingénue. She had always rather disliked Eddie, but 
now she felt quite fond of him. ‘‘That sort of thing’”’ 
—she said and shut her teeth. 

‘It’s awful,’’ said Miss Marsh, ‘‘and people are get- 
ting more like that every day; Helen Graham’s own 
sister worked her out of a part last week by telling the 
manager Helen was subject to laryngitis. The way 
people in this business are beginning to scheme and go 
on, you'd think they were all managers. What do you 
go with yourself, Susie?’’ 

“T haven't signed,’’ said Susie. 

‘*Well, come in here and have some soda,”’ cried Miss 
Marsh, cheeringly. 

“Oh, thanks, I guess I—”’ 

At this moment there flashed out of the confec- 
tioner’s a young girl in pink organdy with roses in her 
hands. She was followed 
by two nice-looking boys, 
one carrying her parasol 
and the other some vague 
thing of pinky flutters. 
Sailing past, radiant, the 
girl smiled to Susie and 
waved her hand. 

Miss Marsh exclaimed: 
“Wasn't that Mabel 
Rose?’’ 

“*Yes,’’ said Susie; ‘‘isn’t 
she pretty?”’ 

“They say that in this 
new piece of Cabot’s she’s 
got the greatest part ever 
was written. Nice for 
Clara Folsom when she’s 
to star in it.”’ 

‘“Cabot writes good 
parts,’’ said Susie softly. 

“And good parts make 
good actresses,”’ Miss 
Marsh announced. ‘‘ Well, 
Eddie.”’ 

Eddie said: ‘‘Well, 
girls,’’ and that he had 
just seen old Emmons, 
who had told him if he 
came round at three to- 
morrow there might be 
something doing. On the 
strength of this statement 
Eddie wanted to know if 
the girls would come 
somewhere and have a 
drink, but Miss Marsh 
plucked him sharply up 
to the ice-cream standard 
and they went into the 
confectioner’s. 

As they sat at their ease 
nibbling the lady’s-fingers 
with which Eddie had deli- 
cately provided them, Miss 
Marsh said to Susie: ‘‘It’s 
you ought to be playing this part Mabel Rose has got.’’ 

‘‘Oh, I’m not so particular,’’ Susie laughed. ‘*’ Most 
any part would do for me.”’ 

“Well, if that’s the way you feel, you'll never get 
anything,’’ Miss Marsh austerely commented. ‘‘I don't 
believe you’ve got any push, Susie. You ought to go 
to see everybody and you ought to put on a good 
front.’’ She looked a little deprecatingly at Susie's 
mild white dress. ‘‘How about your—have you still 
got—oh, there it is! What do you hide it for?’ She 
pointed sternly, and Susie shook her ruby bracelet free 
of her sleeve. 

‘Well, I thought—in the daytime.’’ 

‘*Not at all,’’ said Miss Marsh; ‘‘you want to wear it 
flash out So as to show people that you've got it yet. 
People never want to give engagements to people un- 
less they look as if they didn’t want them. Have you 
been round to the agencies this morning?”’ 

‘Yes, to Mrs. Meade’s, and to Spaulding’s, and to 
Paul's, and— 

‘‘To Miss Reagle’s 

‘‘No,”’ hesitated Susie. ‘‘I—I just couldn’t go in 
there, so many people—’’ 

Well, she has the best of everything. You ought to 
go there. Things won't come to you, you know. You 
ought to go there and stay there. It’s just cowardic« 
not to, Susie Garavce 

Have some more cream 
Clark. 

‘I want Susie to promise me she’ll go to Miss Reagle’s 
right away,’’ insisted the strenuous Miss Marsh. ‘‘She 
can break the ice by asking if there’s any mail for her 
She ought to go there; you can never tell what might 
happen.”’ 

Susie felt that her friend was right, and she decided 
to make use of this first aid to the self-conscious; sh« 
would at least pretend to look for mail at Miss Reagle

Reagle’s voice; and for a moment her eyes met those 
of the manager to whom Miss Reagle was talking. He 
was a Mr. Hendricks, for whom Susie had once played. 

She made him a little bow, returned the mail, and 
walked out. When she was half-way downstairs she 
heard some one call her name, and turning she ob- 
served the proud minion hanging over the banister and 
entreating her: *‘Miss Grayce! Miss Grayce! Will you 
come back a minute, please?’’ 

Susie,-puzzled, but pliable, returned. A kind young 
lady at the typewriter said: ‘‘Just step into the office, 
please.’’ At this moment the manager came out of the 
office. ‘**How are you, Miss Grayce?”’ he said. ‘*Where 
have you hidden yourself all this while?’ He went on 
without waiting for an answer; Susie, for the first time 
in many a weary day, stepped into the inner office and 
Miss Reagle motioned her to a chair. 

‘*My dear,’’ said Miss Reagle, ‘‘it’s a good thing you 
came in! I was just going to send for you. Hendricks 
was in here looking for an ingénue and I mentioned 
your name.’’ Susie remembered the surprised recog- 
nition growing into intention in Hendricks’s glance, 
and she demurely cast down her eyes. ‘*They want 
somebody right away for Mabel Rose’s part. They’re 
rehearsing now.” 

‘‘For Mabel Rose’s part!’ 

To Susie her own voice seemed to come from a 
long way off. She was so surprised that she scarcely

She smiled faintly at them and gravely inclined her head as a farewell 


knew if she was even pleased. It was as though 
somebody had handed her the moon. 

‘*Yes,’’ said Miss Reagle, ‘‘I’ll give you a note to the 
stage-manager. But don't go to the stage door. Hand in 
the note at the box-office; they'll put you in front some- 
where to watch the rehearsal. Are you a quick study?”’ 
Susie nodded. Coherency still swam beyond her grasp. 

‘‘For you’ll have to get up in it like lightning. ‘There 
are sO many openings to-night and to-morrow night 
they’ve deferred theirs till Wednesday. They've 
played the piece three nights out of town, and they’re 
not satisfied with Rose, and they’ve grabbed this 
chance to make a change. Somebody will take your 
card in to Wallis—he’s putting on the piece—and as 
soon as rehearsal’s over you can settle everything with 
him and Hendricks. They furnish the clothes.”’ 

‘‘Have you any idea what I ought to ask them, Miss 
Reagle®”’ asked Susie, dropping toward the earth. 

‘*Well, they pay Rose seventy-five.’”’ 

‘They'll give about sixty, then.’’ 

‘Well, of course, you can ask them seventy-five. 


But you're a fool if you stick at salary, child. It’s the 
chance of your life.’’ Beginning to write the note, she 
said: ‘*‘You will ha i rehearsal with Wallis or with 


Denham, the stage-manager, directly the other re- 
hearsal’s over.’’ Finishing the note, she handed it to 
Susie. ‘‘You go right round there now, my dear,’’ said 
she; ‘‘they’re expecting you 

Susie went ‘‘right round there,’’ preserving while in- 





doors a tremulously radiant decorum, but as soon as 
she reached the sidewalk she flew. Her feet seemed 
scarcely to move of themselves; the seemed to 
sparkle. Her spirit at once sang and shivered in an 
ecstasy of nervousness; when she spoke she feared that 
her heart would tremble in her voice. ‘Then the 
thought of returning home, of kissing the baby, of 
telling Walter—ah, of telling Walter oftly flooded 
her with warmtl Her eyes filled with tears She 


flitted up the lobby of the theatre and gave in the note

Mr. Cabot, tl 101 Mr. Denham, the stage- 


manager, sat at the prompt-table fumbling with the 
manuscript; Wallis, the producer, the Stage-Manage 
Extraordinary, sprang here and there with impassioned, 
shirt-sleeved gestures, correcting, expounding, arrang- 
ing. The back door was open and the rear of the stage 
Was gray ii the daylight; forward, by the prompt- 
table, a big bunch light shed a warm yellow mistiness. 
As the actors advanced into the limited brightness 
Susie endeavored to make sure of their identities; sud- 
denly a girl, a familiar, airy figure, came into the 
magic circle. She turned her face to the light and 
Susie recognized Mabel Rose. Susie’s heart gavea sick 
little jump. ‘*They haven't told her!’’ 
It was now abundantly clear why she had been sent 
with so mysterious a hush through the front part of 
the house. Miss Rose still expected to play the part. 
They had not cared to discharge her before they had 
acquired Susie, and, moreover, it was invaluable to the 
newcomer to see the part rehearsed. Susie's hot scorn 
of such tactics was quickly cooled by her helplessness 
beneath them, and after a single throb of indignation 
she set to work seriously at absorbing the rehearsal. 
But as beneath her scrutiny the action slowly cleared 
and settled, she became aware of something truly ter- 
rifying. Miss Rose was unsatisfactory in the part not 
because she was bad in it, but because she was too 
good. To her successor this was appalling, but indis- 
putable. And it was all the author’s fault. Commis- 
sioned to write a play for 
‘ Miss Folsom, his star part 
was wood and putty; he 
had fallen in love with his 
ingénue as he wrote her, 
and she had taken life 
and breath, she had grown 
into beauty and laughter 
beneath his hands. He 
would always insist that 
the part be well played. 
Miss Folsom, with less 
frankness, would see to it 
that it was not. The 
management, bedeviled 
and befagged, would hang 
fire between the two. Yet 
it was Miss Folsom most 
certainly who was to be 
exploited. To keep the 
position one must never 
¥ play the part for all it was 
“ worth, and innocent Miss 
Rose, tiptoed with the 
ecstasy of triumphant 


P, work, knew no other way 
to play it. 
But Susie knew. The 


situation was not pleasant, 
but Susie believed herself 
mistress of it. She leaned 
¢ forward “spotting” 
breathlessly the points 
that she was sure pricked 
Miss Folsom sorely and 
must be blunted; the other 
points that the author, the 
stage-manager, the whole 


| ~ set of bunglers would in 

= sist upon, and which she 
ane would drive home at any 
ost. Here was a laugh 


that could be lost, there 
was a round of applause 
that could be stifled. Let 


them go, she could spare 
them! What, what a bag of tricks there still remained! 
The darling part seemed like a jewel, to sparkle the 
more, the more it was cut. Miss Rose, amid the intri- 


cacies of the situation, rode high on her popular per- 
sonality; but Susie, the competent, the experienced, the 
expert, smiled to herself demurely, and knew her way. 

The rehearsal drew toward its close, Susie still ob- 
serving it with mounting ardor. Then she heard it 
dismissed, and the call given for a dress-rehearsal the 
next night. She shrank from seeing the stage-manager 
call Miss Rose aside as she would have shrunk from it 


had he carried a knife in his hand, and between the 
horror of this and the dread of the call which the next 
few minutes would make upon her own resources, she 


crouched back in her seat a little sick. And imme- 
diately she observed Miss Rose pausing at the stage 
door, flaring out her pink berufiled parasol and blithely 


issuing forth, with at least three of the young men of 


the company prancing at her heel Still she had not 

been told! They must mean to send her a note. Susie’s 

heart was getting higher and higher, and thicker in 
Ss 5 


her throat. She could spare no more thought for poor 
Miss Rose. In another moment—oh, if she had only 





had the part for a few days! If only she had had those 
three nights on the road! A hand touched her on the 
shoulder. A man’s voice said: ‘‘ Miss Grayce, Mr. Den- 
ham says will you please step back on to the stage?’ 
The young man was waiting to escort her; she shut 
her eyes, smiled, rose, acquiesced inaudi ind fol- 
lowed him. 
IV 
ATE that afternoon Miss Folsom and Mr. Denham 
accompanied Susie across th re al p the stairs 
to the manager’s office with a smiling flutter more sig- 
nificant than trtimpet Mr. Hendricks w itting at

ISTEN! I have discovered the soul of the Columbia Graphophone —it is 
the record. The machine—that is the body. The Record—that is 
the soul, the life. 

It is like this: The Columbia Record, it is a tone photograph —minute, exact, 

delicate, artistic. These other records, they are like tin-types—flat, inartistic. 

It must be that my neighbor has of that kind. There comes to me an idea. 

I will announce to him, my neighbor, that these Columbia Records fit the 
machines of all makes; they will fit his machine and make him to play the 
better music. 

Me! Always I am annoyed that any choose the tin-type when at their com- 

mand is the tone photograph so perfect, of the Columbia Record.” 

The price of Columbia Gold Moulded Cylinder Records is 25 cents each. 

for other cylinder records, you waste your money. 

The price of Columbia 10-inch Disc Records is 60 cents each. 

operatic and vaudeville artists are found on the Columbia list. 


Hear the Columbia and Cylinder Records in any of the Company's stores in all the large cities, or at the regular

Music Master, of the s superiority of the Columbia records. Write for catalogue of Columbia Disc or Cylinder Records.

down; Denham continued to hang about the threshold; Miss Folsom wandered 
discreetly to a desk across the room and began to read a newspaper she found 
there. Susie and her fate faced each other. ‘‘Well,’’ said Mr. Hendricks in- 
dulgently, ‘‘you understand you haven’t got much time to get up in this part, 
Miss Grayce, but we'll help you out the best we can. Now, how much salary are 
you going to hold me up for?” 

‘Seventy-five dollars,’’ said Susie. 

‘‘Correct,’’ said Mr. Hendricks. Susie settled herself in her chair. 
a facile world. 

‘Now about the clothes. 
and so on—”’ 


It seemed 


We furnish the dresses. But for shoes and gloves 
Susie opened her mouth and hastily closed it. Mr. Hendricks looked 
sharply at her. ‘‘Do you want an advance?’ he asked. Susie faltered. He took 
out a check-book, wrote and handed her a check. ‘‘Well, I was going to say, 
you're a little bit smaller than Miss Rose, but we’ll have one of Mme. Durand’s 
ladies down here at the dress- sig conten and she can take up each dress while it’s 
on you; everything’ll be ready for you all right for Wednesday night. Every- 
thing'll be ready for you." After the tyranny of preparation for the weekly 
change of bill in the stock company where Susie had last played, after all the 
gr inding economies and contrivances of the summer, here was peace, plenty, balm 
to one’s self-respect—here was high life. She put the check in her pocketbook. 

Mr. Hendricks was saying: ‘‘I'll get Denham to give you a copy of the manu- 
script—you can always study better from the manuscript—and do you want to 
rehearse some to-night?”’ 

‘‘Oh,”’ cried Susie, ‘‘if I may. 





” 


“You got anything on for to-night, Miss Folsom?’’ Hendricks called out. 
‘Could Miss Grayce come and run over the lines with you awhile? She and 


Denham?”’ 

‘‘Oh, why, to be sure she can,’ 
about eight, my dear.”’ 

‘*You’re sure you oughtn’t to take this evening to study?’’ Mr. Hendricks asked. 
‘How much do you think you can be up in by the morning?’ 

“Oh, I'll take all night to study,’’ Susie laughed. She madea hasty calculation. 
Wallie would sit up with her and hear her the part; he could make black coffee 
and keep them both awake. ‘‘There won't be any trouble about my lines,”’ 
said she. 

‘Isn’t she a treasure!’’ cried Miss Folsom. 

‘“Well,”’ said Mr. Hendricks, ‘‘you come 
and Denham can hammer at it all day. 
Miss Folsom?’’ 

‘‘Um-umh, n-no, I don’t think I could. 
Not that / shall dress, of course. Still, = ve 

‘‘Well,’’ said Mr. Hendricks again, 
anyhow.” 

Miss Folsom rapturously reiterated: ‘‘Isn’t she a little wonder !’’ 

‘“You see, I know her of old,’’ said Mr. Hendricks. ‘She played an ingcnue 
lead with me in ‘Vermont Girls.’’’ He turned to Susie. ‘I was telling Miss 
Reagle a while ago that that was the last part you’d played in New York, but 
she said no, you made your biggest hit the spring afterward in‘Menand Money.’ 

‘“‘So she did,’’ exclaimed Miss Folsom; ‘‘that was when we wore those great 
long trains; she looked like a doll in one, Iremember. Of course, I was nothing 
but a child then myself.” 

At this point Mr. Wallis appeared, 
Susie, who was speaking mechanically, 
in New York was Dora in Brinton’s 
summer to managers and 
of recognition, 


Miss Folsom sweetly responded. ‘‘Come at 


down about ten to-morrow, and you 
I s’pose you couldn’t come down awhile 


The dress-rehearsal is not until eight. 
e got to have some rest.’ 
‘*I guess we can depend on Miss Grayce, 


embracing all salutations in one curt nod. 
continued: ‘‘The very last thing I played 
‘Kansas.’ She had said the same thing that 
agents a dreary score of times, and had not won a flicker 
but now Mr. Denham smiled propitiatingly and said: ‘I saw you 


in that—Mr. Staples, the treasurer, said to me just now as you came in: ‘Isn't 
that the little girl that played in ‘‘Kansas’’??’ And I assented, Mr. Wallis; I said 


yes, if any one should ask you.”’ 


Susie stood there breathing quickly, her eyes brightening from one speaker 
to another. It seemed as if to-day’s engagement had acted like a calcium on her 
career. No eftort of hers for months had been able to bring her past out of the 
shadow of her obscure present, but now it seemed as if people had been only 
waiting to recognize her; all of a sudden they remembered her perfectly, remem- 
bered the successes she had made, the very dresses she had worn; she was as well 
known again as if she had never left Broadway. The change of air was welcome 


to her; she drank it in greedily. 

‘And wore my hair in long curls,’’ Miss Folsom was saying; ‘‘they used to 
tell me—”’ 

‘All right,’’ said Hendricks; ‘‘then you understand about everything, Miss 


g, 
Grayce? You be at Miss Folsom’s at eight 
fourth; where’s the third act, Denham? Oh,

Denham began to cough, ‘*Don’t you think,’’ he intervened,

almost into a point with the effort to be significant. 

‘Later!’’ Susie cried, ‘‘and with dresses I’ve never seen! 
six o’clock!”’ 

“Oh, Lord, no!’’ cried Miss Folsom; 

A dreadful silence followed this extraordinary remark. Every one was exces- 
sively iarred, but Susie, on whom the real blow had fallen, was in the grasp of 
something cold and stiff; she felt neither hope nor dread, only a horrid pounding 
of the heart. So, it was not an ordinary case of discharging one girl and engaging 
another. They were still intentionally deceiving Miss Rose; they were going to 
play her some trick at which she, Susie, was to connive. She put out one hz and 
and gripped the edge of Mr. Hendricks’s desk. 

‘You have not discharged Miss Rose?’’ she asked. 

‘Miss Grayce! Hendricks reprovingly turned his back on her 
cigar. He said over his shoulder: ‘‘That’s about up to thi

we can’t both be engaged for the part. Who is?’’ 

At this Miss Folsom came forward, with a laugh, and threw a protective arm 
round Susie’s shoulders. ‘‘Oh, see here. What are we all stewing about? J‘uittle 
Miss Grayce only wants to be sure she’s got the part, and in this profession I 
don’t blame her.’’ The managerial brow cleared; Hendricks believed Miss Fol- 
som’s suggestion, and he allowed her to go on talking. ‘‘Why, look here, Miss 
Grayce, it’ll be all right. You can be perfectly sure she’s not going to play that 


part the first night in New York. If the worst comes to the worst, we can give 
her two weeks’ salary and let her go. Only we should have such an awful time

the great Trust stretched from horizon to horizon of her world. A favorite phrase 
of Walter’s rattled across her mind. ‘‘It’s up to you, Susie. 

‘I'm sorry,’’ she said. Her little face went white and the life withered in it, 
but she got the check ouc of her purse, and laid it with the manuscript upon the 
desk. ‘I wish—I—could have done it.’’ She smiled faintly at them and gravely 
inclined her head as a tarewell. Though it was she who had won out, she went 
meekly from the room and down the stairs; she fairly ran across the stage. But 
in the doorway, where Miss Rose had hoisted her pink parasol, she paused a 
moment. After the dark theatre, there was a kind of tawdry squalor in the day 
in the hot glare of the late sun. Among those shadows she had felt a horrid sensa-

The surging, snatching terrors of that real life to which she was returning 
streamed before her in a choking tide; she stood for a moment clinging to the 
door-frame and then plunged forward into the street.

dusk. Half-way up the stairs a disheveled infant rose from the step where it had 
been sitting, and with an ardent snuffle cast itself about Susie’s knees. Geraldine 
was a heavy girl, but Susie picked her up and staggered to the landing with her. 
Here they were met by Mr. Bates, pale, perspiring, and in his shirt-sleeves. ‘‘It’s 
extraordinary how she manages to get away from one,”’ said he, and he took the 
crushy and sticky bundle out of Susie’s arms. 

In their own room, when the door was shut and Geraldine more relegated 
to the bed, Susie placed the submissive Mr. Bates in the rocker and stood humbly 
before him. She lifted a strained little voice above the yelps and leaps of Climax 
and told her story. Walter beheld her waiting, as it were, the verdict. He stood 
up and tapped her on the shoulder. ‘‘Well, Mrs. Bates,’’ said he, ‘‘] am glad that

Owing to a question of copyright the publishers of the NEW AMERICANIZED ENCYCLO- 
PZDIA BRITANNICA and the English publishers of the ENCYCLOPA2DIA BRITANNICA have 
arranged that after a certain date in the near future the former work shall be withdrawn abso- 
lutely from the market. 

The arrangement finds the American publisher with a large and revised edition in stock 
which must be sold before a certain date; and in his dilemma he turns to us as the only house in 
America whose cash resources and tremendous powers of distribution are equal to the task of 
merchandising these books within the time limit. 

We know that the task is impossible even to ourselves, unless we 


can offer the public a 


bargain at once obvious and overwhelming; and our conditions are made in accordance. 
Je are cutting 40 per cent. trom the publisher's price. 
The New Americanized Encyclopedia Britannica cannot be obtained after the time limit 
shall have expired. 












15 volumes, 9 x 614 inches 
in size, 10,000 double col- 
umns, 37,000 biographies,

HEARST AND HEARSTISM 


(Continued from page 20) 











equipped and as sharp as if he were dealing with Rogers or Lawson; for Carvalho 
is not the incarnation of all the high sentiments expressed in the Brisbane edi- 
torials. This business manager of the fiercest organ of publicity on earth objects 
to having his picture published or to any public mention, because, as he says, he 
is a private individual. Among business men whose only standard is business 
success, he has won a high place. He has been the instrument through which 
Hearst has made his papers pay. 

It was when this vast experimental enterprise became self-supporting, and 
Hearst himself was passing out of the region of youth to that of middle age that 
the real and eventual purpose of Hearstism became apparent. In this age of trusts 
we were to have a trust in one style of publicity. In a democracy where the 
people form their opinions which control the government from the information 
which they receive from the public press, we were to have a nationalized syndicate 
of newspapers which would report public events in a way that best suited the 
political interests of their owner. To establish a serious competitor to the Hearst 
papers to-day would require twenty-five millions of dollars, and a genius of pub- 
licity of the Hearst order. No device, no trick of modern trust methods, I may 
say, has been neglected by Carvalho. 

We publish a facsimile of the earliest (so-called 7th) edition of the New York 
‘Evening Journal.’’ The force that makes it goes to work before the morning 
edition men have left the office. So really the Hearst presses are never silent. 
This particular edition was issued on the morning after the Maine elections, about 
which it offers no information whatsoever. He who runs may read the type of 
sensation with which it appeals to the eye. Called the ‘ ‘latest afternoon”’ edition, 
it is actually issued at seven in the morning, and you may buy a copy in Albany, 
one hundred and fifty miles away, before noon. Therefore it is sold’ under false 
pretenses. Of the news of the day it has none, it has only the news of yesterday 
“featured’’ under different headlines. You will find in the first of the last editions 
the Brisbane editorials, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the Hall-Room Boys, Tad, the 
Down and Out Club, ‘‘the bug antics,’’ and the other ‘‘features’’ which appear in 
the latest of the ‘‘last editions.” And it is the ‘‘features” which the up-State 
readers want both in the evening edition and the Sunday edition. 

The ‘‘comic sups’’ and the ‘‘miscellany sups’’ of the Sunday edition are printed 
many days ahead. But the first complete news section dated on Sunday goes to 
press on Friday night and catches the same trains as the Saturday morning papers. 
This edition of 125,000 is known as ‘“‘the Pup,’’ and it goes nowhere north of the 
Ohio River, east of the Mississippi, or south of Bangor, Maine, and is, of course, 
for sale on Sunday morning. ‘The second or ‘‘Bulldog’’ edition leaves the office on 
four o’clock Saturday afternoon, and goes to Pittsburg, Buffalo, and other points 
which can not be reached by the main edition. At the present price of wood 
pulp and ink, red, blue, black, and yellow, both the Pup and the Bulldog are 
profitable. As for the news part, of course, if the President were assassinated on 
Saturday morning, the Sunday morning paper which was delivered in Texas 
would have no mention of the tragedy. Wagon routes carry the Pup and the 
Bulldog—hounds of the Hearst war against the corporations—into the suburbs 
and through the thickly settled farming communities. The new Hearst paper, 
the ‘‘Farm and Home,”’ goes a step farther, reaching by mail those who are be- 
yond the wagon routes. It also contains the Comic Sup on a reduced scale. 

No other single newspaper proprietor has ever had at his command one-half of 
the circulation that Hearst has. His San Francisco paper has (or had before the 
earthquake) a circulation of 123,000 a day; his Los Angeles paper, 70,000; his 
Chicago papers, morning edition, 157,000; evening edition, 360,000; his New York 
morning edition 225,000, evening edition 650,000; and his Boston paper 300,000. 
This is a total of daily circulation of 1,880,000. His Boston Sunday paper has 
300,000, New York 720,000, Chicago 465,000, and San Francisco 250,000, or a total 
of 1,600,000. If you count two readers toa paper then Hearst reaches every day 
an audience of about four million. The San Francisco ‘‘Examiner’’ and the New 
York ‘‘Evening Journal”’ are the most profitable. The Boston ‘‘American”’ is not 
yet established, and his Chicago newspapers yieid but a small income. The total 
profits before the San Francisco fire were, on my best information, between eight 
hundred thousand and a million dollars a year. 

The Hearst papers having made their place secure in their sphere, no longer 
pay the extravagant salaries or employ the multitude of men which they did at 
the outset. The famous writers and artists whose names furnished a first basis of 
attraction for the new enterprise have long since departed. Many have recovered 
their old positions; others are dead, and still others are derelicts on Park Row, 
which is the Rialto of newspaperdom, where they will talk as long as you will 
listen of the harsh school where the fittest sensation maker survives. ‘Through 
the quartet which forms his staff Hearst has developed a set of writers and 
cartoonists fit to do the work of the master. There have been many changes in 
the New York ‘‘Morning Journal,’’ including the change of its name to the 
‘“american,’’ and these come into the domain of the next article, where we 
find Mr. Hearst’s journalism pass out of the realm of the sale of surprises and 
wonders into that of a political asset. 








The Lure of the Pirate’s Gold 


By JOSEPHINE FREDEA 




















N the issue of CoLLIER’s, dated September 23, 1905, I told the story of a certain 
treasure, supposed to have been buried by pirates on Oak Island, in Mahone 
Bay, which lies to the southwest of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The account I gave 


of several attempts to unearth the hidden riches drew letters 
people unknown to me, most of them actuated by curiosity or avarice or the spirit 
of enterprise. Some of the letters were genuinely amusing, not the least so one 
from an old Western miner, which began as follows: 


from numerous 


‘Say, little girl, are you going to put me on the trail that 
Pirate’s Treasure? I wrote you some several days ago about it, but as yet you haven’t 
seen fit i word to my camp that there was any color in the pan. Now, if that tale 
of yours was all a pipe dream, you have certainly got the drop on all romancers of modern 
times. You could bury Robert Louis Stevenson's ‘Treasure Island’ in a forty-foot prospect

to sen 


stulls or lagging 


But one day I received a very startling communication. It was from a gentle- 
man whom I will designate as Mr. A., and it informed me that my description of 
the treasure island agreed exactly with certain maps and charts in his possession! 


Though the owner of these interesting documents has no intention of making 
public his movements in the matter, Iam able to give the readers of COLLIER’s 
some hint as to the nature of the said papers. 

More than a century and a half ago, Spain was busily engaged in pillaging the 


rich lands of Mexico and Peru. Especiaily attractive to the Spaniard’s avarice was 


the great wealth of Peru, the wonderful country of the Incas, where gold was said 
to be as plentiful as stones on the highroad. Laden with plunder, the Spanish 
ships braved the long and dangerous passage of the Atlantic Ocean, whose chief 


perils were not born of wind and waves. Along the shores of South America and

AMERICA’S BEST UNDERWEAR 
The Sensible, Serviceable, Satisfactory 


Perfect Fitting, Popular Priced 


Munsing Union Suits 
For Men, Women and Children 


In quality fine enough for the most fastidious, in cost so moderate that 
they may be enjoyed by all. Whether considered from the standpoint of 
health, durability, appearance or price, the Munsing Underwear merits 
patronage. The yarns used are the best that can be secured. The varioys ; 
fabrics manufactured are the finest that can be produced for the prices \ ; 
quoted. Combination suits to retail at one dollar are shaped and finished 
with the same care as the higher priced garments. The fact that people 
who once wear the Munsing Underwear can seldom be induced to buy 





any other kind is the best sort of evidence as to the merit of the goods. 
A daily production of 10,000 garments is insufficient to supply the de- 
mand. A trial will convince you. Whether in need of underwear at 
the present time or not you ought to send for some of our doll’s vests. 
For children’s parties, birthday celebrations, church fairs and Christmas 
dolls the dainty pink or blue garments are in greatdemand. You can 
make some little girl very happy by presenting her with a complete set, 
one pink, one blue. One vest for three two cent stamps; two vests for 
five two cent stamps; a whole dozen for fifty cents. With the vesis 
will be sent a handsome booklet showing illustrations of all Munsing Ei 
Underwear styles for men, women and children; also sample pieces of 

all light, medium and heavy weight Munsing Underwear fabrics. For

THE LURE OF THE PIRATE’S GOLD 


(Continued from page 28) 











among the outlying West India Islands lurked daring privateers, waiting to pounce 
upon the cumbersome merchant-ship*and wrest from her her ill-gotten gains. 
Many a cargo of rich spoils, torn from the Indians with cruel carnage, was thus 
intercepted, and the Spanish plunderers invited to walk the plank. In his history 
of Nova Scotia, Murdoch tells of a treasure-ship whose cargo was valued at five 
million pounds sterling, which was captured by the English during the last siege 
cf Louisburg, while two companion ships, loaded alike with treasure, were caught 
before they could reach the Azores. With the prospect of such prizes to inflame 
their avarice, it is small wonder that a horde of lawless and adventurous spirits of 
many nationalities were soon enlisted under the black flag. An old sea-chest 
belonging to one of these men contained the documents alluded to above and 
presently to be mentioned again. 

Now our friend Mr. A. not long ago purchased an ancient manor-house near a 
certain seaport in England, whose name I am not at liberty to disclose. Rambling 
over his newly acquired house one day he entered a long-unused room, where the 
dust of years lay thick on furniture and floor. His attention was attracted to an 
old oaken chest covered with quaint carvings. Opening this, he discovered cloth- 
ing, nautical instruments, a considerable sum of money, and a sort of coffer, filled 
with old maps, charts, and other documents, as well as the last will and testament 
of their owner. The testator had evidently been a master mariner, presumably 
the principal in some nefarious transactions, since his will began with a lengthy 
prayer of repentance for past misdeeds, and the text left little doubt that on his 
deathbed his conscience had given him serious trouble. Having done his best (on 
paper) to commend himself favorably to that Great Judge before whom he was 
shortly to appear, he proceeded to bequeath to his gon, ‘‘then on the high seas,’’ 
all property and money of which he died possessed, including the coffer of maps 
and diagrams containing instructions as to the location of certain hidden valuables. 

The significant fact that the old sea-chest had lain undisturbed for so many 
years—for the clothing, nautical instruments, and money were all of ancient date 
—disposed Mr. A. to sift the matter, which, in fact, he did most thoroughly. His 
investigations showed that about the year 1780, the son ‘‘on the high seas’’ was 
impressed from a merchant-ship into the navy, and was soon afterward killed in 
action. Mr. A. finally came to the conclusion that great wealth was involved, and 
proceeded to institute a search for the property referred to in the will of the old 
pirate. He crossed the ocean to America, commissioned a steam-yacht, and was 
about to sail for the West Indies, when he chanced to read the description of Oak 
Island in COLLIER’S. 

He was immediately struck by the remarkable similarity to a certain island 
plainly indicated on the chart in his possession. Between this island, ‘‘past 
Sesambre,’’ as stands written on the chart, and a certain islet in the West Indies, 
there is marked a clearly defined track; and, although most of the writing on the 
chart is in Spanish and Dutch, yet it is apparent at a glance that there was a well- 
traveled path between the two islands mentioned. Other papers show that a 
removal—with subsequent deposit—of seven separate packages took place on 
certain dates, each package bearing distinct symbols and initials. There is alsoa 
diagram of the cove at Oak Island—spoken of in my original CoLLIER’s article— 
and to this diagram is attached a paper which has not been easy to decipher. 
Captain Welling, manager of the treasure company most recently engaged i” 
searching Oak Island, always believed that documents were in existence which 
would explain the mystery, and the contents of the old sea-chest show that his 
opinion was correct. But the laws of confidence and discretion impose silence 
upon me regarding all else that Mr. A. discovered or undertook. On the other 
hand, I have come into possession of interesting facts in connection with the 
work done by Captain Welling’s company. 

Those who read the previous article may remember the boiing operations car- 
ried on by the Truro company about the year 1849, and the location of three 
packages of treasure, two being oaken chests and the third a cask or barrel of the 
same material. When the bottom of the Money Pit fell in, in 1850, the rush of 
mud and water carried these packages slightly to one side, that is to say, into the 
tunnel which had been driven directly under the bottom of the Mone: Pit, and all 
subsequent efforts to reach them have been of no avail. It should be understood 
that the sea-water enters this pit at the bottom and that high-water mark is about 
thirty-two feet from the top of the pit. Captain Welling’s company sank a shaft 
down to one hundred and twelve feet, about nine feet square and thoroughly 
cribbed. As they worked down, the pressure became greater, and the quantity of 
water entering the pit gradually increased in volume. When they reached one 
hundred and twelve feet, they found the sinking pumps had not capacity enough 
to go beyond this depth. To procure new pumps of a proper size meant a 
considerable expenditure, so the company decided to bore first, and to see what 
result could be obtained in that way. 

They accordingly put up the necessary apparatus and began boring a two and 
a half inch hole through a three-inch pipe, working from the surface at the pit’s 
mouth, through eighty feet of water then standing in the pit. At one hundred 
and twenty-six feet from the surface, they bored through oakwood in a good state 
of preservation, and struck a piece of iron past which they could not drive the 
pipe. They continued the boring with a one and a half inch drill without piping 
the hole beyond one hundred and twenty-six feet, and at a hundred and fifty-three 
feet they struck cement which proved to be seven inches thick, directly under 
which they found five inches of oak wood. When through the wood the auger 
dropped an inch and a half, and rested on some soft metal. They carefully with- 
drew the auger and kept the borings brought up with it. Among these borings 
was found a very small piece of sheepskin parchment, upon which was written in 
ink characters s¢eming to represent the syllable ‘‘vi’’ or ‘‘ wi.’ 

When the auger was withdrawn the workmen substituted a boring chisel, and 
went down through two feet eight inches of metal in pieces, constantly twisting 
the boring rods, and then struck a soft metal into which they could force the 
chisel and make it stick. Five and a quarter hours were occupied in getting down 
the two feet eight inches, and the chisel came up as sharp as it went down. It 
was decided to secure this hole by piping, and then to try to obtain a sample of 
the metal. With this purpose in view a one and a half inch pipe was lowered 
through the larger one, and forced past the obstruction at one hundred and 
twenty-six feet. But at this point the obstruction turned the small pipe from its 
course, and thus the hole below the three-inch pipe was lost, as after the small 
pipe was withdrawn the drill would follow the hole made by this pipe as it was 
forced past the obstruction. The company drilled several other holes with the 
object of getting into the boxes; but it was a difficult matter to locate these when 
working through so much water. However, oak wood splinters were brought up 
and also fragments of an iron vessel of some sort. 

In these borings, the workmen have struck, altogether, seven different boxes 
or barrels, or whatever they may be, and the old documents distinctly specify the 
removal and subsequent deposit of seven separate packages. The company after- 
ward enlarged and recribbed the Money Pit and worked down to one hundred and 
fourteen feet, at which point they abandoned the work for want of funds; but 
before doing so they thoroughly secured the pit by cribbing and flooring the 
bottom. Sundry offers have been made for the possession of the island. 

3ut the directors of the company, having no shadow of doubt as to the exist 
ence of a great treasure, have not allowed their lease to lapse, and declare their 
intention of continuing to hold it, even should another attempt to recover the 
booty be unsuccessful. For various reasons the Welling organization has not yet 
been able to complete arrangements for a renewal of the work at the famous 
Money Pit, though I understand that the secretary of the treasure company has 
been in negotiation with an engineering firm in the United States.

heretofore been accepted as the highest type of motor car. 

Among the many features of the 1907 Cadillac are ease of control, due to 
our perfect planetary transmission; a marine type governor, regulating the 
speed of the engine under all conditions; a new and exclusive double-acting 
steering device that greatly increases safety; an independent steel engine 
suspension, which maintains perfect alignment of motor and transmission 
at all times, saving much strain and wear. 

Model H is practically noiseless in operation; embodies the maximum of 
comfort in riding. 30 norse power; capable of fifty miles an hour. Price, $2,500.
